Men's Issues Therapists in North Oakland - Oakland, CA 94618

"I enjoy being a psychotherapist because it provides me the opportunity to help people resolve the issues that are causing them distress. I work with adults, children, and families, and understand that each person is a unique individual with his or her unique life circumstances, history, and social and cultural context. A goal of our work together will be to help you identify and understand the conflicts that may be causing you difficulty, and to help you overcome them. Or perhaps negative thinking patterns cause you to experience sadness, loneliness, hopelessness, fear, or other unwanted emotions."

"Life can get extremely heavy and complicated all too easily. While challenging periods in our lives and relationships can overwhelm us, they also bring rich opportunities to cultivate resilience, a deeper connection, and lasting fulfillment.

My person-centered approach, which focuses on you rather than your symptoms, will guide you in developing more autonomous control over your life, fears, and relationships. This will help you break out of patterns that have you feeling stuck and lost."

"I've been in practice for over 20 years, helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and a range of other difficulties. I work from an integrative psychoanalytic perspective. This means that we work together to understand in a deep way the painful patterns that hold you back and where efforts to shield yourself from pain create more problems. We attend to your thoughts and feelings in the moment, which is in many ways like a mindfulness practice, aimed at enlarging acceptance of the known and as yet unknown parts of yourself."

"Many people I've seen in my 30+ years of practice seek psychotherapy in response to personal loss, relationship difficulties in love or work, trauma or self defeating thought or behavior patterns that have become unmanageable. As we begin to meet on a regular basis, the anxiety, depression or crisis that propelled them into my office starts to calm. Broader questions like "Why do I keep waiting to live my life in the way I always imagined it to be?" or "Why have my personal or professional accomplishments not provided the fulfillment I hoped for?" then begin to emerge."
